Breakfast Egg Muffins
Breakfast Egg Muffins
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced thin
- 1/2 recipe (8 ounces) Apple and Sage Sausage (recipe below)
- 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Line a muffin pan with parchment liners. Brown the sausage until fully cooked, breaking it up into pieces. Divide the sausage evenly among the cups.
Beat the eggs just enough to get them broken not too much because you don’t want the the muffins to puff way up when they bake or they will spill over the liners. Add the cream, salt, pepper and onions. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage. Sprinkle with the cheese and parsley. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes.
